THE AUDITION

For your audition, you will be asked to play:

1. a prepared selection from our list below, and

2. a 30-60 second piece of music of your choice that shows your range and skill. Click below on the link that corresponds to your instrument and print it off.

Judges will consider all aspects of your performance before assigning chairs.

THEN WHAT?

After all auditions have taken place, if selected, you will be notified which concerts you have been selected to play. You will be given a rehearsal schedule and be asked to make a commitment to attend all rehearsals and play for all concerts assigned up to the full season if needed. You should expect to attend four to five rehearsals before each concert.
